Q. Your favorite place to vacation

A. I really enjoy Aruba and am looking forward to Jamaica this summer..

Q.  Scariest/best thing to happen to you during a shoot?

A. I can’t say I’ve had a scary moment, but the worst moment was when I got sick on a shoot.  My tooth got infected and my cheek started to swell the day of the shoot.

The best thing that has happened to me on a shoot is when I was shooting in Puerto Rico.  I was only scheduled to be on location for 5 days.  After expressing my lack of participation on one day of the shoot, the client apologized and I got two extra days in PR and more money. It pays to open your mouth!

Q.What was your first job?

A. My first job was at Sears at Landover mall in Maryland.

Q. If you weren’t a model, actress, Tv personality… what would you be?

A. A stylist. I always get great feedback from photographers when I’m putting together my own shoots to update images for my portfolio.

Q. ADCOLOR is…

A. F A M I L Y

Q. What’s your proudest (professional) moment?

A. My proudest professional moment, honestly, has been receiving my ADCOLOR(r) honor. I’m super excited to be in the presence of so many great individuals who have made tremendous strides so that I can be relatable, distinct and included.

Q.  Who is your mentor and why?

A. I would love to have that one person I could shout out as my mentor. It seems so cool to have one. But as I’m writing this, I realize that my peers have been my mentors.
